In spite of having lived close the most part of our lives, it was just right after moving out far away from that place, that through virtually we contacted each other.
In our homeland, the individual experiences, the walked places, the developed interests, the beloved people, and some other things, were repeatedly the same. The common memory created the foundation over which we began to imagine the other one, as a way to complete our link. Over more than a year, the exchange merged memory-imagination crystallizing itself with this first physical encounter, from which this recording came up.
The music in it presents sonorous landscapes become of the conversations and walks around the Berlin-Brandenburg margins:
Dúo inspired and written during those days; Lo pienso en el camino II, composed around the curiosity about the conversations; in the middle, Vías, and in front of these train tracks a huge mountain of stones: throwing them into the iron lines was as inevitable as to remember the unshared childhood, and to feel like we were back then, except now we were together: we strove to, without criticism, change, invent, lose oneself and meet again...
With this little sonorous universe, we kept on with our dialogue, thinking about if there is something in between memory and imagination and what does it take to dissolve the continuity of a memory before it leads to the fantasy.

A pesar de haber vivido cerca gran parte de nuestras vidas, fue luego de mudarnos muy lejos de ese lugar, cuando a través de la virtualidad nos contactamos.
En ese lugar previo las experiencias individuales, los lugares andados, los intereses desarrollados, la gente querida y algunas otras cosas, fueron reiteradamente las mismas. Esa memoria en común creo los cimientos sobre los cuales empezamos a imaginar al otro, como una manera de completar el vínculo. Durante más de un año, los intercambios fusionaron memoria-imaginación cristalizádose en éste primer encuentro físico, del cual surgieron estas grabaciones.
La música en ellas presenta paisajes sonoros devenidos de las charlas y paseos por los márgenes de Berlín-Brandenburgo:
Dúo, inspirado y escrito durante esos días; Lo pienso en el camino II, compuesta alrededor de la curiosidad alimentada con las conversaciones; en el medio Vías, y frente a ellas una montaña de piedras apilada: arrojarlas a las líneas de acero fué inevitable, así como recordar esa niñez no compartida y sentir como entonces, pero juntos: hacer sin críticas, modificar, inventar, perderse y reencontrarse...
Con este pequeño universo sonoro continuamos nuestro diálogo, pensando sobre si hay algo entre memoria e imaginación y que hace falta para que la continuidad de un recuerdo se disuelva antes de dar lugar a la fantasía.
